// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

CkoImap *imap = [[CkoImap alloc] init];

imap.Ssl = YES;
imap.Port = [NSNumber numberWithInt:993];

// Connect to an IMAP server.
BOOL success = [imap Connect: @"imap.gmail.com"];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Login
success = [imap Login: @"myLogin" password: @"myPassword"];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Create the new email folder (sub-mailbox) on the IMAP server.
// If no folder path is provided, the new folder is a sub-mailbox of Inbox.
success = [imap CreateMailbox: @"newFolder"];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// (In GMail, folders are called "labels".  
// This example would create a new "label" in GMail.)

// Now create a sub-folder under "newFolder".
// Make sure to use the proper separator char for your IMAP server.
// The separator char used here is "/".   It is typically "/" or ".".
// The SeparatorChar property contains the separator char
// that should be used for the current IMAP session.
success = [imap CreateMailbox: @"newFolder/subFolder_A"];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

NSLog(@"%@",@"Success.");
